Initially happy with install, but when warranty service needed, no response from Solcius. Had my system go down last July (2023), two techs came to evaluate my system, each said something different was wrong. Last tech visit in September 2023, was told parts ordered & I would be contacted to schedule service. No contact despite me calling multiple times. Two weeks after I was told parts needed to be ordered, I contacted customer service, and was informed parts had arrived. I was told the scheduling department would contact me soon; 4 months later and still no response. Customer Service was goo

Initially I had given them a 4 star review for the installation process as it went relatively smooth except for the initial install team who couldn't finish the project. I'm not happy with the design and layout of the panels as the location generating the most power has the least amount of panels. After the install I noticed one of the panels was not working correctly. It has been months since I first contacted them and the panel has not been replaced and I keep getting excuses. Currently on hold and there is at least a 30 minute wait time to speak to someone. Beware of this company!

very hard to communicate with a person, haven't explained how system will work, not helpful with keeping up to date with project and answering questions

Victor, Kenny, Josh, and Luis were excellent electricians and helped me out when hooking up the solar to the house!

I will definitely recommend Solcius to my family and friends. The whole process of getting the solar panels, from initially talking to their representative up to the installation, was prompt and smooth. All my questions were quickly responded to as well. Thank you Solcius!

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.
What we don't know
- The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
- We found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
- We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
- We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
